Intro: C-Am-C-Am-
C-Am-D7/F#-F-G-
CAm
Met my old lover in a grocery store
CAm
The snow was falling Christmas eve
CAm
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
D7/F#FM7G
And I touched her on her sleeve
CAm
She didn't recognize the face at first
CAm
But then her eye flew open wide
CAm
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
D7FM7G
And we laughed until we cried.
Interlude: (Do intro chords)
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/d/dan-fogelberg/67970.html ]CAm
She took her groc'ries to the check-out stand
CAm
The food was totaled up and bagged
CAm
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
D7FM7G
As the conversation dragged
CAm
Went to have ourselves a drink or two
CAm
But couldn't find and open bar
CAm
Bought a six-pack at the liquor store
D7FM7G
And we drank it in her car.
Refrain:
AmF
We drank a toast to innocence
GAm
We drank a toast to now
AmF
We tried to reach beyond the emptiness
G
But neither one knew how.
(2nd Verse Chords)
She said she married her an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
She would've liked to say she loved the man
But she didn't like to lie.
I said the years had been a friend to her
And her eyes was still as blue
But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I
Saw a doubt of gratitude.
CAm
She said she saw in the record stores
CAm
And that I must be doing well
CAm
I said the audience was heavenly
D7F
But the travelling was hell.
Refrain:
AmF
We drank a toast to innocence
GAm
We drank a toast to now
AmF
We tried to reach beyond the emptiness
G
But neither one knew how.
AmF
We drank a toast to innocence,
GAm
We drank a toast to time.
AmF
Reliving in our eloquence
G pause
Another "auld lang syne."
(2nd Verse Chords)
The beer was empty and our tongues were tired
And running out of things to say
She gave a kiss to me as I got out
And I watched her drive away
Just for a moment I was back in school
And felt that old familiar pain
And as I turned to make my way back home
FM7/G-G
The snow turned into rain.
